Q: When you say you need a power cord, do you need a specific one or can you just use a regular exrension cord?by Chris DeGraff from Massachusetts on September 25, 2013

A: The electric start system on the Sno-Tek models does require a power cord. These models do not have an on-board battery for the electric start. You can use a regular heavy duty, 120 Volt outdoor rated extension cord for this purpose.

Q: what is the horse power rateing on this machine 920403by Andy from Connecticut on February 11, 2013

A: Andy - there is no true conversion from cc's to HP. A 208cc engine would be roughly equal to 6 or 6.5HPby Robert, Product Expert

Q: I have the sno-tek 28 in. the tires are 15x5 do you have chains for these tires?by Andy Person from New Jersey on February 10, 2013

Q: As an accessory are there lights out there that I could mount on my snow blower? Model 920402. If not would I be able to mount any halogen light?by James Murphy from New York on October 13, 2012

A: James - the Ariens Sno-Tek models would not be able to power a light. The alternator is not large enough to sustain the amperage required by the light.by Robert, Product Expert

Q: How is warranty work handled? Thanksby Anthony from Montana on October 11, 2011

A: Anthony - if warranty service is necessary on a Sno-Tek snow blower, you would take it to the closest Ariens authorized service center in your area.by Robert, Product Expert

Q: Hey Kris Is this product delivered fully assembled?Thanks ....Mattby Matt Hughes from New York on September 25, 2011

A: Matt - The Sno-Tek 28" snow blower is NOT delivered fully assembled. You will need to fold up and attach the upper handle to the lower handle, and you will need to assemble and attach the discharge chute to the auger housing. It's pretty easy to complete the needed assembly, but the unit is not fully assembledby Robert, Product Expert

I just got to use my snow blower after we got 18" of snow.This snow blower is made to work no matter how deep the snow is.

I did my driveway and side walk in half the time it took me with my old snow blower.This machine go's through snow and never once
clogged.

I didn't have to use the electric start because it starts with one pull by hand. It's also good on gas which is a plus.

I would recommend this machine to anyone who wants to to work and enjoy it at the same time. Bring on the snow I got my Ariens
Sno-tek 28'' to handle all the snow that falls.

Sno-tec Is Great

Bought this thinking snow was done for year, had two heavy wet snows. This machine works so well, I was going to neighbors houses cleaning driveways just to get to use it more. What took hours before, now takes 15 minutes. Best investment I have made.

Starts So Easy, Who Needs The Power Cord

I've used this once, and this works very well! Highly recommend! I don't know why I waited until turning 58 to buy the machine! But, today for the third time since purchasing this unit, it's saved me hours of back breaking work! This 208cc
throws wet heavy snow, at least 30 yards, and makes short work of up to 15 inches of snow without even slowing down!
I'd recommend this machine to everyone who is tired of shoveling!

Works Great On Sno-tek

It works just as advertised and does what it's supposed to.

The shear bolts like to break a lot, but they work on Sno-Tek. Also I recommend you buy at least 6 of these before the snow season starts- because once the snow hits it becomes very hard to find these and they usually become back-ordered quite quickly.

SBD RESPONDS: The idea is that the shear bolts deliberately break (shear off) when the auger jams or clogs. It protects your auger from damage; and it's much cheaper & quicker to replace the bolts instead of the auger.

It's A Beast!

Snowblower took on 20" of snow without blinking. Even the slushy/melted/iced frozen stuff at the end of the driveway that usually gets shoveled. This thing ran right through it. Even threw it a solid 10 feet off to the side. Very easy to handle, plenty of power. Did my driveway that's about 75' x 15' and my neighbors which is 40' x 15' in about 2 hours. My fiancee even gave it a try and had no trouble handling it. Really excellent.

I Fell In Love

I did fall in love with my snow blower, model #920404. It works really well, I am so happy and so are my fellow home owners. It handles so well that I did almost the whole block in no time. It also is good on gas and throws the snow and did not get clogged up. I really, really fell in love with it. Thank you for making such a good snowblower. Your friend Gregory S.

Replacing 20+ Year Old Snow Blower

I purchased this unit to replace a old and tired yard man snow blower.
I have use it only once so far, but what a difference!
This new machine is easier to use and does a much better job throwing and moving the snow.

Excellent Snow Blower

I am a returning customer to PED. I had an excellent experience with a generator that when it came time for a snow blower I came right back to PED. From the ordering process right through delivery, as with my generator, was flawless.
I assembled this snow per the directions and had no trouble at all. I gassed it up and it started up on the first pull. I did not get a chance to use it until today. Today, here in Connecticut on the shoreline we just received a foot of very wet snow. This machine did all it was advertize to and more. It not only ate all that wet snow in my double wide drive, but ate all the piled slush at the bottom near the road that the plows push up. It did not even slow dow. With nothing better to do I went across the street and did my 87 yr old neighbor's driveway. Both on one tank of gas. Great machine, great price, great company.

Awesome

Just had my 1st chance to use my new snowblower...everything that was promised came true concerning this machine. Really threw the snow. Easy to use, light weight for such a big snow thrower. Quickly cleaned my huge driveway and front walk and deck and a place in the yard for the dogs. Happy Happy.

Pros:Easy To Use, Price, High Quality, Easy To Store
